Our atmosphere has five different layers. They are:
(i) Troposphere,
(ii) Stratosphere,
(iii) Mesosphere,
(iv) Thermosphere,
(v) Exosphere.
(i) Troposphere : It is most important layer of the atmosphere with average height of 13 km from the earth. The air that we breathe exists here. Almost all the weather phenomena such as rainfall, fog and hailstorm occur here.
(ii) Stratosphere : This layer extends up to a height of 50 km. It presents the most ideal conditions for flying aeroplanes. It contains a layer of ozone gas which protects us from harmful effects of the sun rays.
(iii) Mesosphere : This layer extends up to a height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
(iv) Thermosphere: In this layer temperature rises very rapidly with increasing height. Ionosphere is the part of this layer. This layer extends between 80- 400km. It helps in radio transmission. Radio waves transmitted from the earth are reflected back to the earth by this layer.
(v) Exosphere: It is the uppermost layer where there is very thin air. Light gases such as helium and hydrogen float into the space from here.

One of the significant reasons for continuance of discrimination is that attitudes change very slowly. Even though persons are aware that discrimination is against the law, they continue to treat people unequally on the basis of their caste, religion, disability, economic status and sex.
It is only when people begin to believe that no one is inferior and that every person deserves to be treated with dignity that attitude will change. Establishing equality in a democratic society is a continuous struggle and it is required for individuals and various communities to come together to remove inequality.

The Life of Banjaras :
Peter Mundy, an English trader who came to India during the early seventeenth century, has described the Banjaras.

(ii) They were all laden with grains such as wheat and rice.
(iii) These Banjaras carry their hold, wives and children, along with them.
One tanda consists of many families Their way of life is similar to that of carriers who continuously travel from place to place. They own their oxen. They are sometimes hired by merchants, but most commonly they are themselves merrhants. They buy grain where it is cheaply available and carry it to places where it is dearer. From there, they again reload their oxen with anything that can be profitably sold in other places.
(iv) In a tanda there may be as many as 6 or 7 hundred persons. They do not travel more than 6 or 7 miles a day that, too, in the cool weather. After unloading their oxen, they turn them free to graze as there is enough land here, and no one is there to forbid them.
